It's a Cloche Party...or...Staff Favorites Under Glass

It’s time for the Marty’s Cloche Party at A Stroll Thru Life and I am still suffering from cloche block! So the management here at Plate Addict suggested that my staff and I each decorate a cloche using our favorite thing! Sounds like a great idea since…

…I have been sitting on ready, having added my little handmade vintage tag (instructions here), waiting for the cloche muse to inspire me with ideas for how to fill it! Let’s see what kinds of ideas the staff might have!

Here is our PR gal Isabella’s entry for the cloche party! She has chosen her beloved faux leopard catnip mouse! She is our little supermodel and loves those little fashionable touches! However, she has informed me that if management would allow her to go outside, she would fill it with her real favorite…lizard skin…and NOT faux!! lol

This cloche was decorated by our own webmaster Kitty who, as her name suggests, is a no frills kind of gal. She has chosen her favorite kibble. No snooty gourmet food for this little lady! She's a sweetie! Don’t sit still very long or she will be in your lap!

Here’s a sneak peek at our CEO Ozzie’s playful side. She has filled her cloche with her favorite…the ring from a milk/juice jug! However, do not believe that she let down her guard for long! Two staff members were disciplined by her for trying to interfere during her photo session!

Not to be outdone, our co-host Baby Kitty has chosen his favorite…a ripe, juicy Georgia peach! As you can see, this is his favorite summer treat! (Yes, he really does eat peaches!) He denies it, but I strongly suspect that it is because the color of the peach compliments his fur! As with all celebrities, he is never one to miss a photo-op!

And here is my favorite under glass for the cloche party. Hmmmm…..somehow I don’t think it’s working!

Maybe you had better head on over to Marty’sto see what everyone else is doing!! Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ll see you next time! A la prochaine!

Management wishes to thank Sax at Emptynester for suggestions for this post!

LOL! I enjoyed this post soooo much! THAT would be my favorite thing under a cloche too if I could find one big enough! I never know what to put under those things that haven't been done a million times so I'll just be peeking at everyone else's creations!

Debbie, Sax says thanks for her 15 minutes of fame! I can't believe how creative your staff is, especially the peach. I personally prefer your choice lol. Thanks for the big belly laugh, I've been fending off e-mails from bozos all day. Man, write one letter to the editor and they come out of the woodwork! Have a great evening, and give all the kitties a big Hollywood smooch from Sax! Hugs, Kat

Debbie you are just too much. I am laughing hysterically. This is just too cute. Kent wants to know what the kitty thinks about her food being in the cloche. lol I love your sense of humor and this is just fabulous. Mr. Linky is being a stinker. I am working on it, so please check back. Sorry. Thanks for being such a friend and participating. Hugs, Marty

OH DEBBIE!!! I was laughing so hard I nearly spit out MY coffee, (which I think I am going to need for this party!). My word, your staff is the greatest...

You are truly humble to admit you were a bit lost on the cloche thing. Same here. I so enjoyed this. Oh, and if you get a chance before I post my Cloche Party post, my current post made mention of your staff when my little Layla decided my camera fascinated her more than my laptop. Have a look if you have time!

What a DARLING post! I just love the kitties! Whoops I mean the staff. Sorry.Love your coffee maker too! I think it worked just fine!Thanks for sharing. You made me laugh!Karen @ Some Days Are Diamonds

Hehehe...I'm still giggling!!! If that just isn't the cutest..then I don't know what is!!! My friend, you DO have the most clever staff...so creative...and soooo photogenic!!! Are you serious? Baby kitty likes peaches? That's awesome! He is right you know...the peach coloring does compliment him soooo well! Hehe! This is just the best cloche entry...sure put a smile in my heart!!!

Debbie, your post is extremely clever as usual. I always smile and giggle when I read through you posts involving the staff. I don't really have any cloches, just a little cupcake stand and cover. I may post just a small little bit to join in the fun. Hope you are having a great week. ~ Sarah

I LOVED this cute cute post!!I CAN NOT think of anything to go under mine, either, that hasn't been done a thousand times....I know I'll see some, tho, and think, "why didn't I do something like that?"....xo bj

Somewhere there is probably a law against putting your staff's food and treats under glass--PETA will be contacting you :) I do love your beautiful tag. Thanks for the beautiful pictures and the smiles!

I'm a day late and a cloche short so I'm checking out what everyone else did. You're post is by far are my favorite! Especially that last photo. Too Funny! And is that a bit of Tracy Porter Stone Farmhouse I see in the background? I knew I liked you, now I'm in love! LOL!Dawn

Okay...you know I'm a lover of "The Staff." This is just too cute! Totally enjoyed it. By the way, I thought of you today when I received the Fall Pierre Deux cataloge...full of holiday Quimper! (French spelling is not my forte!)

Too funny!I have cloche block too! Wish I could do a great one!Enjoying schooless September??..I am!My 5 yo gson started Kdgn.I called the first day to see how he like it..I asked," So, how was your first day?""Long, Nana, very long. I had to take a nap when I got home!"

I always had to take a nap when I got home, LOL, I didn't tell him the teacher was probably exhausted!

Debbie, you have the CUTEST staff in Blogville -- and so photogenic! This was such a fun post. You and your staff are really creative! OK, I'm in need of some creative staff members. Now I know how to lure your staff away - I'm off to buy some peaches! laurie
